Discover Top Fisheries and Fishing Lakes Near Cheltenham

Stanboro Lake, nestled along Tewkesbury Road near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, offers a serene and visually stunning fishing destination. At this idyllic site, both the lake and cottage boast an array of fish species, such as 30 lb carp, 5 lb 8 oz perch, dace, bream, and roach. Catering to all skill levels, from beginners to experienced anglers, Stanboro Lake provides an enjoyable and versatile fishing experience for everyone.

Bulley Lane Fishing Pools, located in the scenic county of Gloucestershire, Bulley Lane Fishery is a tranquil stillwater haven that offers three well-stocked coarse fishing lakes. Here, anglers can find an abundance of popular fish species, including eel, roach, and mirror carp. To enhance your fishing adventure, a helpful bailiff is on-site, ready to provide assistance and ensure a delightful experience for all.

Encompassing two acres, Burley Fields Lake features a pair of connected lakes and offers 20 swims, making it a staple of Burley Fields Farm for over two decades.

Burley Fields Lake, the lake is celebrated for its carp, chub, and barbel populations, and the roach fishing in February and March is said to be remarkable. However, individual experiences can vary, and the success of a day spent at Burley Fields ultimately depends on the angler's viewpoint. Reports indicate that Burley Fields Lake is especially accommodating to beginners, making it an ideal location for those looking to reel in their first catch. Before heading out, it's essential to familiarize oneself with the lake's rules to ensure a smooth fishing experience.

Burley Fields Lake is home to an impressive array of fish, including carp up to 30 pounds, perch up to four pounds, roach weighing two pounds, barbel over eight pounds, golden tench at two pounds, bream surpassing five pounds, and chub over four pounds.

Hillview Lakes: Spanning eight acres, Hillview features five acres of water across two lakes and four canals, nestled in picturesque countryside teeming with wildlife both in and around the waters.

For pleasure anglers or those seeking larger carp, Moorhen and Heron Lakes are the ideal choices. Both rectangular in shape and adorned with central islands, Moorhen Lake boasts abundant bankside vegetation, including late-spring blooming yellow irises. Both lakes have clusters of vegetation that provide cover, particularly beneficial for those who prefer to fish close to the shoreline where fish are known to patrol during summer.

Hillview is home to specimen carp exceeding 20lb and frequently sees match weights surpassing 200lb. The fishery offers numerous pegs that are accessible for disabled anglers, who can park their vehicles at the same level as the lakes by driving to the far end of the car park. While the canals may be more challenging for disabled anglers to access, Moorhen and Heron Lakes provide ample suitable pegs for a comfortable fishing experience.
